On the character of normal non-CWH spaces (Q675124)

It is known to be consistent that every normal space of character at most \(\aleph_1\) is collectionwise Hausdorff. Bing's space is a well-known example of a normal space of character \(2^{\aleph_1}\) which is not collectionwise Hausdorff. By Nyikos' solution of the normal Moore space conjecture it is known to be consistent that normal spaces of character less than \({\mathfrak c}=2^{\aleph_1}\) are collectionwise Hausdorff. The author shows that it is consistent and independent of Continuum Hypothesis that every normal space of character at most \({\mathfrak c}^+\) is collectionwise Hausdorff.
